Cotto Says Margarito Should Be Banned For LIFE!!

[Mr140]

So because he could not hurt Mosley you think he hits soft Danny come on Mosley has best chin of this era he up there with Hagler and Leonard.

Shane is just way more durable than cotto, and that is one of the reasons he was able to dismantle marg the way he did, not just due to his strategy. I hate to belief that marg knew about the wraps but its hard for me to actually believe that he didn't so jeah he should get a life time ban.

[NUCLEAR BULL]

i aggree 100% with cotto..no matter how much money margarito brings in he's been found guilty of cheating with dangerous substances in his gloves which are designed to add damage to another human being who has spend months getting ready for a sporting event!!! thats dangerous enough within its legal rules............he should be banned for life, his status as a champion stripped, his record zero'd and name deleted from the sport...this should be the standard action to anyone found guilty of any such crime in a combat sport......people get seriously hurt...even killed within the sport when things are done within its rules, never mind useing hardened wraps of performance enhancers.....as a huge fan of his thats what i'd like to see happen

I actually thought that Mosley would win BEFORE I knew about the hand wraps but I thought it would be on points. I think the fact that Mosley so dominated and outclassed Margarito so comprehensively shows that Margarito hand wraps played a MASSIVE part in his career. When you look at the style and trajectory of Magarito punches, to me, he doesn't punch like or shape like he punches hard. He doesn't look like he puts everything into his punches, turns his whole body and shoulder. Yet he was destroying guys. It's not like where you watch the old Tyson or Julian Jackson or Thomas Hearns those fighters LOOK like they punch hard. I consider Margarito only couples of notches above Luis Resto

Good post that.

I totally agree that technically Margarito really doesn't look very good. He does have a great chin and a lot of stamina, but when it comes to throwing punches with mean intentions I struggle to see where the power is coming from. You point out how someone like Tyson throws punches and tries to get serious leverage on his shots by bending his knees and really letting his
body turn into the shot. Margarito, for me, has always looked sloppy when he throws. As much as I love Calzaghe, I think of Margarito as having a punch style more in that vein rather than a fighter who can really accumulate damage. And yet he did accumulate damage, I'm not saying he hardened the gloves in previous fights, but it does make you wonder to yourself.

Margarito should be banned for life, if some of you question the fact that having plaster in your handwraps can change a fight,it's like having a weapon!

it's cheating, there are no excuses, and he could have killed a boxer that night or the other nights. I'm just so happy Shane's people were there to examine his handwraps.

Margarito don't deserve to fight again, his cornermen and team should be kept outside boxing organisation. hell he even shouldn't be allowed to watch the fight.

Cotto's defeat should be scrapped from his record to a non contest. Margarito cheated like this guys years ago whoi fought a brave kid with fake gloves (they removed the protection of gloves). I still see the father examining the gloves at the end of the fight...these people are murderers.

And you know what , theres still some peoples that think , that wasnt a Criminal act , can you believe that ?.................

[Andre]

They need to give Cotto the decision! Dude was disqualified for cheating useing a ko implement for Gods sake and there was a Tko.
How basic the fight goes to the man who played by the rules.

[Mr140]

Andre not to be rude to you but that is pretty out there considering he has been cleared form that fight not saying he did not do it. But if we look at the Cotto fight we got look at every fight including the Clotty and Willaims fight and if i recall they were not busted up really bad. All comes down to question which fights did he use and also he was cleared for it ever fight he has been cleared the only one he been caught is this one. And if Margarito did use the warps all this time i not sure how effective they were because not like he was knocking people out left and right which you think you do with the loaded wraps right.

[Andre]

Plaster would do damage early rounds then break down with sweat into powder. So if you had them on you would come in hot ,not just warm as usual and pacing yourself for a long fight; you would go for it all out early.
Ring any bells?

They should offer a lie detector test for him and find out. If he sits it and passes it they let him off with a month or two, If he fails it, give Cotto the nod.

[Mr140]

Well i guess one way you could settle it is have rematch. I mean he could rematch Cotto and or Clotty and see how he does but i while say this regardless of the wraps Margarito still has chin that could win it. Really is a same though because now it is just a big question mark which is also the fault of the commision for not checking the warps before hand. I mean if he has been doing this all the time and no one has caught it then someone needs to get a new job.

For someone who has the best chin in the business, he sure did a lot of holding in order to avoid getting hit at the right moments and lets not forget, Margarito did not have the plaster.

[Big Dick Whittington]

Plaster of paris in the gloves,you dont just find that lying in the corner of the dressing room and think,'hmmI've got an idea Tony !'
It's not just a block of plaster that would damage hands we are talking about a fighter having it carefully apllied to his hands and then wrapped to give extra weight . It was a conspiracy and collusion of the worse kind and fucking sickening
Can't believe people are even debating loaded gloves .
Like a fighter would risk everything on the night and all of a sudden choose to wear loaded gloves .
It's like making a career out of knife fights and then turning up with a gun .
Like anyone seriously believes this was a first time .
No question not even the slightest hint of a question he should should be banned FOR LIFE.
